that's exactly what it is.

the russian collusion bit is proven true now. spygate was a dem lead attempted coup. it's fucking treason. they've demonstrated they're absolutely willing to abuse government authority to persecute political opponents.

What's the latest act of domestic terrorism they're using to justify this?

Do they mean the Wisconsin Christmas Parade terror attack?

Considering they likely consider saying something like "Let's go Brandon" a domestic terrorism threat, not surprised they think there's a huge increase in terrorism.

Good. Someone needs to stop all those feds marching with American flags and GAP kahkis. That shit was getting scary.

But on a serious note, it amazes me how republicans will just watch as a good part of their supporters get criminalized. Why aren't right wing politicians doing the same to BLM and such?

Of course they're panicking, funny that. They're going to lie about this shit to the grave.

They're not even really coy about this shit:

noting that the number of FBI investigations of suspected domestic violent extremists — those accused of planning or committing crimes in the name of domestic political goals — had more than doubled since the spring of 2020.

1. Demand more investigations into the birds in your backyard being uh "terrorists"
2. Tell people you need more funding because "there's more investigations open" into those devious birds plotting against you in your back yard.

domestic terrorism investigators often settle for filing gun or drug charges, and often those are filed in state — not federal — court, which can mask the extent of extremist threats.

They aren't actually finding anything. They're trying to count unrelated stuff.

It's like that "kidnap the govenor" "plot" where it turns out most of the people where working for the fbi. If there's not enough crimes to solve, start creating crimes to justify yourself.

From 2016 to 2019, the number of domestic terrorist suspects arrested per year fell from 229 to 107, before jumping to 180 in 2020. In testimony last year to Congress, FBI Director Christopher A. Wray said that to handle the rapidly growing caseload, he has more than tripled the number of agents and analysts working on domestic terrorism cases.

180 people and we know at least half of them are only on the list to beef up the numbers. Give me a fucking break.

They probably redefined what they count as "domestic terrorism" at some point. Not even funny math, just lying.

Though if it was already 229, it must not be what we think of as "terrorism". Maybe criminals threatening a judge.
